Explain what an acid,a base and an alkali are.

2 answers:

4 0

An acid is a chemical substance that has a sour taste and is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value less than 7. It turns blue litmus paper (pH indicator) red. Citric acid is a common acid found in lemon.

Alkali and base are the same thing. An Alkali is a chemical substance that has a soapy feeling and a bitter taste. It is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value greater than 7. It turns red litmus paper blue. Alkalis are commonly found in shampoos. The burning in eyes when such products get into eyes is caused by alkalis. Sodium hydroxide is a common alkali.

Those are types of water on a pH scale 7.0 and above are alkili water and anything under that is acidic

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate,niso4? Write equations for acid base neutralization. Include states in y

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

1. Nickel sulfate

base + acid ⟶ salt + water

NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.

Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.

$\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}$

2. Carbonate + acid

Most carbonates are insoluble.

They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

$\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)$

Rocky objects that are massive enough will have a spherical shape due to the force of gravity. (no links or else I will report y

Vesnalui [34]

“About 300 kilometers across have irregular shapes because their internal gravity is not strong enough to compress the rock into a spherical shape” so I’m guessing it’s false ?

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction

Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

$2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)$

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

How many joules of heat are absorbed to raise the temperature of 435 grams of water at 1 atm from 25°C to its boiling point, 100

zepelin [54]

The energy absorbed may be calculated using:
Q = mcΔT
Where Q is the energy absorbed, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat capacity of the water and ΔT is the change is the temperature of the water. Substituting the values,
Q = (435)(4.18)(100-25)
Q = 136,372 J

The energy absorbed is 136.4 kJ
